INDIANA BEE SCHOOL 2018

It is that time again when we all look forward to registering for the Bee School. With wonderful local and national speakers, super topics, great lunch and hundreds of beekeepers that we haven’t seen since the previous year, we seem to get bigger and better and this year will be no exception.

Dr. Jeff Harris is from the Mississippi State University, see “Who is our Guest Speaker” on our Indiana Bee School XVI page for more information.

The new software is now in place for online registration. You may also register via mail, click here to download the registration form and mail in the payment.

All events beginning in 2018, (Indiana Bee School, Purdue Field Day and the Fall Conference) will allow members to pay a lower fee. This was voted and passed by the TBoI board and validated that doing so we’d still be in compliance with our 501(c)(3) status.

Beginning Classes

We have brought back the beginning beekeeping classes. Each attendee that registers for the beginning beekeeping classes will be in a single classroom all day and will receive a wrist band that is required to be worn to give them access to the classroom.

2018 Election Results

As of the election, the membership was 1,622. We had 104 members cast ballots which is 6.41% of our total membership. We’d like to thank every member who took the time to vote.

New Software

The Beekeepers of Indiana began implementing a new Association Management System. This will allow our members to track and update their information themselves, make it easier to communicate with our members, configure our events and make registration seemless for our attendees and many other uses.

The Indiana queen project was developed to provide Indiana beekeepers with northern-bred stocks that are tolerant to tracheal and Varroa mites. This project will benefit beekeepers who adopt this as well as nearby beekeeping operations, by preventing the spread of mite-infested bees… READ MORE
